It’s March 1st so that means I get to share my plans for Sew the Year this month.
Last month my plans were very ambitious so this month I am going to keep it nice and simple for very exciting reasons…
I have two new patterns almost ready for testing!
If I have any hope of getting two patterns done for the month, I can’t also have a bunch of extra sewing planned. That is part of the reason last month was a stretch, but more on that tomorrow in my February recap.
When I decided to add a little bra making to my list of sews for Sew the Year February I was nervous it was going to be a bit of a disaster. I mean, I have been putting this pattern off for 2 years, so it must be a hard as I had built it up to be in my head. Even my husband was a bit skeptical that I was sewing a bra.
With no specific plans for the month that would dictate my sewing I decided to take Sew the Year February as a chance to tackle patterns that have either been sitting around partial finished or patterns that just never seem to get cut out.
We all have mental or written lists of patterns that we want to work on and in many cases even have the fabric and notions. But for whatever reason those projects just sit untouched. The flip side is the patterns that are a work in progress. For me the works in progress usually have something that bothers me to the point of knowing I will never actually wear them.
January is the month where we start fresh, get organized and try new things. One of my goals for the year is to continue to grow my sewist community to be a place of inspiration, support and kick butt sewing projects! Most of all let’s have fun! All of this has lead me to my new project, Sew the Year!
